LOTW: www.corpwatch.org
This Link Of The Week (LOTW) is about fostering democratic control over corporations.
For the past five years San Francisco Bay Area-based CorpWatch has been educating and mobilizing people through www.CorpWatch.org and various campaigns, including the Climate Justice Initiative and the UN and Corporations Project. In addition to the vast array of resources available at CorpWatch, the organization's accomplishments are many. They include playing a role in pressuring Nike to improve conditions at its overseas sweatshops by releasing a confidential independent audit that exposed the conditions at a Vietnamese sweatshop. The release of the audit garnered significant media attention, including a front-page story the New York Times. |
